Silverstein will soon be releasing Short Songs, a collection of sub-90 second songs including covers and originals. The band explains the concept for the 22-song album:

There will still be a ballad, a breakdown, and some singalongs, all amidst these quick songs. The idea is to give the listeners a mini-Silverstein album and take them through all of the peaks and valleys they could expect from any of our original albums

Yea hyping yourself like that is certainly a bit offputting. I cant stand it when bands take themselves too seriously. Even just a little bit. I'm pretty sure we might be able to figure out the concept since it is an album full of short songs called "Short Songs"

It's funny how these guys have always claimed their influences are Hot Water Music, Mineral, Christie Front Drive yet they always made such god awful music. I guess at best Silverstein is a poor man's Grade.

I find it interesting that at least here in Detroit, they are the most popular band on the local "alternative" radio station at the moment. I would much, much rather listen to them on my drive home than any of the puddle of creed clones that still polute the airwaves

Didn't they do the same thing with propagandhi and kid dynamite last year? Or was that another one of these cookie cutter fag bands? Either way yeah we get it, you grew up on good punk and then you figured out how to make money. I don't disrespect that, but anyone who likes the songs they covered are gonna hate it and anyone who likes the band isn't gonna have the first idea who any of those bands are except green day, and even so they won't know that song.

Damn lotsa hatin on these guys.. What is it about em people are turned off by the most?.. all the cover songs? or the mix with metal? ..cuz thats wat i play.. i wonder if it'd get hated on like this. I'd like ta hear their version of coffee mug n see how it goes.. I'l havta wait n see.
